One of the best unheard of fusion ensembles
emerging in the mid 90's, and just as quickly dissolving
back into the ashes of the ether from whence it came. North
Carolina has truly given birth to some amazing things and
people.
Imagine if you will: If Black Sabbath were to engage in
familiars with King Crimson, and The Mahavishnu Orchestra,
you may come close to experiencing the energy of KungFusion.
With Black Sabbath like grooves, “heavy” background
influences on the drums, lyrical melodic guitar ripping
ala Coltrane and Robert Fripp (of King Crimson), Mahavishnu
Orchestra, and Miles Davis inspired original compositions,
and intricate funk bass themes, KungFusion moves through
time signature modulations effortlessly creating raw passionate
music!
KungFusion - “Movements”: Heavy funk fusion
laden with ripping guitar solos.
"Jaafarmusic presents" has unearthed
from the vaults these recordings of KungFusion , a power
trio of heavy funk fusion, Troy Cole – bass (of Jaafar),
Mike Nicholson – guitar, and Dave Elias – drums,
accompanied by brother Bill Elias on percussions. These
are 2 ep’s – a studio recording from the summer
of 1995, and a live recording at the end of 1994.
